Interview: The Tanning of America with Dr. Marcia Alesan Dawkins: A visiting scholar at Brown University cautions that the growing increase in non-White births in the U.S. will not guarantee more social justice in America in the coming decades. In “The Future of the ‘Tan Generation’”, appearing in The Root website, Dr. Marcia Alesan Dawkins spoke to writer Jenee Desmond-Harris about American society’s current demographic transformation.
Dawkins, the author of the forthcoming Clearly Invisible: Racial Passing and the Color of Cultural Identity, has published extensive writings on racial identity as an expression of "how people figure out who they are and how they connect with others," She has warned readers not to assume that demographic changes will banish the legacy of America's troubled racial past.
